Bruce Cassidy joins Dave, Shane, Dan, and Gary in Studio 31. Bruce assesses the team's recent play and outlines what the Golden Knights must do to get back into their playoff form from last spring. Bruce then touches on a variety of topics including the Super Bowl, his favorite author, his paper route as a kid, and even the one time he did play-by-play announcing. After the chat with Bruce, the guys discuss the road ahead for Vegas and take a look at where the team may add ahead of next month's trade deadline.

Mark Stone joins Dave, Shane, Dan, and Gary in Studio 31.

The captain then dives into his music preferences and what the team likes to play in the locker room.
